Reply to comment by Mr_Mojo_Risin_83 in ELI5: How come recessive genes don't die out? by JackytheWriter
That’s not a recessive gene though. If 1% of the population carries a recessive gene (and assuming it’s equally in male and female) then 0.025% of the population or 1 in 40000 offspring will actually have the recessive trait. This is why it’s almost impossible to eliminate a recessive gene from a gene pool.

Reply to How did Vladmir Markovnikov actually come to what we know as Markovnikovs Rule? by aquaticlorax
He was just building on the science of the time and came up with it theoretically. They already had a good understanding of molecular bonds, how to determine different elements in molecules, and a pretty good concept of what made molecules more stable. He just assumed the product would be the most stable form and worked out on paper what that structure would be with HBr and an alkene and we later confirmed it. I don’t think it was really “lucky”, it was right because he formulated it based on what other scientists before had experimentally confirmed about molecular structure and organic chemistry.

Station Square is the city right? It has Hard Rock, Joe’s Crab Shack, and a few others., but it is out of the way over there. And Bar Louie and maybe something else by the stadiums? There aren’t too many, I definitely wouldn’t consider it a chain restaurant city.
